Learning...

Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself, and know that everything in life has purpose. There are no mistakes, and no coincidences, all events are blessings given to us to learn from.-Elisabeth Kubler-Ross





I'm learning that no matter what always give your all.
I'm learning that all things happen for a reason.
I'm learning that some people will never understand the meaning of a sincere apology. I'm letting go and forgiving them regardless.
I'm learning to appreciate each day. There's beauty in this life.
I'm learning that breaks are good and sometimes it's best to take a step back.
I'm learning to embrace the simple things in life.
I've learned that you should always speak the truth. If you end up losing someone from speaking the truth, so be it!
I've learned that no matter what you should never become a stepping stone for someone else.
I've learned that there is so much happiness in life.  If you haven't found your happiness yet. It’s never too late!
I've learned that blogging is something I enjoy, sharing my thoughts, photos and much more. If in the process I lose a few followers it will be okay. So far I've met some awesome bloggers. :)
I've learned that children can/will teach you so much.

I'm constantly learning and I am truly thankful for that.

    Very true. I have found that I speak the truth and I am honest about things. I've been told I'm a mean person but I would much rather someone be truthful with me then to speak nothing but lies and fluff to me.

    Also I agree with learning to forgive. That is something I am working on because sometimes hurts cut so deep. I try to acknowledge and move on.

    Glad you are trying to hard to be wonderful but you already are!

Colorful Summer Flower: Recycled Paper Towel DIY

  Looking to bring a little sunshine into your space without visiting the craft store? This whimsical summer flower decoration makes great use of what you already have—think beads, pom poms, a humble paper towel tube, and a splash of acrylic paint. Bonus: it’s the perfect way to reuse an old frame and welcome summer in style! What You’ll Need: 1 paper towel tube (emptied, of course!) Acrylic paint (I chose a deeper pink) Craft pom poms (yellow makes a great center!) Assorted beads (medium for the stem, smaller for embellishing the petals) Foam letters (for your summer message) A reused frame (square or any shape of your choice) Scissors Hot glue gun Creating your summer flower decoration Cut the Tube and Shape the Petals :  Start by cutting the paper towel tube into four evenly-sized sections. Each section will serve as a petal. You should be left with four rings. Next, flatten each ring, then gently reshape it to form soft ovals. These will mimic delicate flower...
